Evelyn Lozada unsure about ‘BBW’ return

While some “BBW” viewers have been outspoken with their criticism of the show and Evelyn’s behavior on it, she was not one of the three cast members Shaunie O’Neal reportedly cut from the series.

Evelyn is the breakout star of the show and has a spin-off series, “Ev & Ocho,” premiering soon. While fans believed she was going to work on both shows, Evelyn’s not so sure.

“You know, I honestly don’t know because we don’t know what the cast is going to look like,” Evelyn told radio host Egypt Sherrod. “Negotiations start I think August, September.”

As far as those rumors that Jennifer Williams, Kesha Nichols and Royce Reed have been cut from the show, Evelyn couldn’t—or wouldn’t—confirm.

“That wasn’t really confirmed just yet. You know I heard the same thing,” said Evelyn, who reasoned why it might be true. “After a while, your storyline starts becoming repetitive. People get bored. I open up all aspects of my life so you see me happy, sad, you know. You see everything about me, but certain cast members don’t open up like that, or can’t due to legal reasons.”

It was Evelyn opening up about her relationship with Chad Ochocinco that helped secure her a separate TV series. Viewers watched as the couple flirted via the Internet and eventually met and fell in love.

What fans didn’t see was the proposal, but Evelyn said they didn’t miss much.

“It’s not romantic,” she said about the proposal, explaining how a jeweler came to their place with a small selection of rings from which she could choose.

Although it was nothing like what moviegoers see in romantic films, Evelyn said she’s fine with that.

“[He] never did the one knee … I was with somebody for 10 years, was engaged twice in that relationship,” she explained. “I had all that.”

Evelyn and Chad are expected to walk down the aisle soon, reportedly the weekend of July 4, and viewers are wondering whether she will invite Jennifer, since the two reconciled during the season 4 reunion show.

“Me and Jennifer, we are cordial. I will just make a long story short. After the reunion, we had a brief conversation via email. I told her that that moment on the reunion show was real for me. I didn’t want her to think that I was just doing something for reality TV or just to have a moment,” Evelyn said. “You know there’s a lot going on, legal; things become sticky, and you kind of have to just take things one day at a time. So I wish her the best.”
